In today's dynamic network environment, businesses must find new ways to ensure seamless connectivity, interoperability, and innovation. The proprietary, self-contained measurement solutions used in traditional network testing environments present significant challenges for network engineers and architects because they operate in isolation, lack interoperability, and are inflexible.
Keysight now offers a range of convenient measurement solutions.
Lack of compatibility makes it difficult for devices and technologies from different businesses to communicate seamlessly with each other, slowing down innovation and limiting the ability to meet the growing demands of modern distributed applications.
To address these challenges, Keysight established the Open Traffic Generator (OTG) API project, which is vendor-unbound, to transform network infrastructure testing and meet the need for open, targeted, and easily automated testing methodologies. The OTG project helps co-design interdisciplinary testing software suites in open networking projects such as OpenConfig, SAI, SONiC, SONiC-DASH, and DENT.
KENG software also supports the OTG API, integrates with several network emulation platforms, and powers several of Keysight's network infrastructure and hardware testing software products. These include the Ixia-c containerized software and the UHD400T 400GE wire-speed traffic generator, which can be combined with the new white box.
The software also allows for performing the same measurements across different environments, including the developer's laptop, software under development on the public/private cloud, certification labs, as well as data centers and edge locations, facilitating collaborative device testing from multiple vendors.
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Security & Measurement Solutions, Keysight, said: "Keysight Elastic Network Generator software differs significantly from the traditional black-box approach. Our new solution can seamlessly measure across the entire lifecycle of network functions or services. The solution's open, isolated, and API-prioritized design has been applied in the field and proven ideal for modern DevOps."
